Driving traffic

Driving traffic to your website isn’t as hard as you think.

Below you will find a list of some (and definitely not all!) things you can do to attract website traffic.

Write articles - writing articles about your niche with a link in your bio back to your website is a great way to attract traffic.

Submit your site to social and bookmarking sites - These sites allow you to submit the URL of a particular site or blog post, giving a brief description of what the site or post is about. Some even update whenever you post to your own website. Search in Google for other bookmarking sites and we have 3 huge lists of them and these will be provided to our coaching clients as a bonus.

Create podcasts and videocasts - Audio and Video are rapidly increasing in popularity. Using free audio programs such as Audacity, or uploading your videos to YouTube can quickly and easily improve your website’s popularity if you remember to let the listeners/viewers know where to find you!

Offer a free newsletter or report - Find a way to get people to give you their email address. Any updates you send out will then drive traffic back to your site. You can even offer free video tutorials! This is very important as it’s your way of collecting their name and email address and therefore building your list!

Pay per click - Google offers ways of paying for traffic. Using pay per click advertising means you are bumped up towards the top of the search engines (do you remember seeing links on the right side of the page in Google?) and if someone clicks on your link, you pay a price determined by your limits, the keyword and where your advertisement is located on the list.

Post regularly - Make sure you post relevant content whenever you can! You must keep updating your site to keep people coming back, and to attract new people. The search engines love it (well, experience tells me they do!), and so will the visitors to your website!
